Daniel Ting Chong x PUMA Duplex Pack

PUMA has linked with African designer Daniel Ting Chong to create a sneaker duo inspired by Zulu and Xhosa legend. Two shoes comprise the pack, both variations of the PUMA Duplex. A Duplex OG and Duplex Evo bring old and new together, but both are very much inspired by the past. Iconography of African gods tell stories of how humans received their mortality, and other allegories.

The Daniel Ting Tong x PUMA pack will be available from PUMA SELECT in Cape Town and Johannesburg on December 10. The first 100 pairs will also be given special gifts curated by Chong.

The Most Common Complaint about Nike: GLUE

I was a Nike fan for years; didn't buy any other brand of shoe. That changed when my Nikes began to fall apart. The soles (or "grip" at the bottom of the shoe) began to come apart from the "upper" part of the shoe.

Usually it was only a few pieces of the sole. But imagine walking along and you trip, as if something "caught" your shoe. When you look, you don't see anything, except a piece of your own shoe flapping in the wind.

When only a piece or two came unglued, that was still acceptable. I would buy some gorilla glue or some other "glue-you-to-death" glue and attempt to re-attach the sole to my shoe.

Sadly, this even happened with NEW shoes -- shoes I had never taken out of the box, as I had forgotten them at the bottom of my closet for a year! Before wearing them, i had to glue the soles back on!

I don't buy Nike any more and when my current Nikes begin to fall apart as they all do, that will be the end of my relationship with Nike.

Run a search on the web for "Nike" and "glue" and you will see what I mean.
